No Challenge: ACC Take On Big Ten
By Robert Ferringo
Monday starts the annual blood-letting that is the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. The ACC is a ridiculous 10-0 in terms of winning the 11-game matchup that’s been held every year since 1999 and they are a spectacular 65-32 straight up in the 97 games played between these leagues.
The question is never “which league is [...]
Forget The Holidays - It’s Rivalry Season
Contributed By Dave Busk
As the 2009 regular season college football season comes to a end this is one of the best times of the year to handicap. We have teams still looking to become bowl eligible, we have teams that have kid’s that were recruit by currently lame duck head coaches that are running out [...]
My Easiest Prediction Of The Year: Joe Lunardi Has No Idea What He’s Talking About
Contributed by Robert Ferringo
I am firmly on the record as saying that Joe Lunardi is one of the biggest frauds in the country and that his “bracketology” is the most overrated “predictions” since the Mayan calendar. Well, after the jump I have copied and pasted his preseason predictions about the NCAA Tournament field, and Selection [...]

Contributed by Vegas Sports Informer
Saturday night at the MGM Grand I dragged my sore body to The Fight. (And a special thanks to Advil and other meds because I saw a great fight!) Here are my random thoughts from last weekend’s marquee event out in Las Vegas:
- Yes, I had doubts that Manny Pacquiao would [...]
Wait - So Jennings Didn’t Need Games Against Austin Peay?
Contributed by Strike Point Sports
Brandon Jennings è buono, realmente buon.
You can hate on him and his path to the Association all you want. You can continue to doubt him, but his blistering beginning as a starting NBA point guard can be summed up in one word: Meraviglioso.
OK, OK…I’ll stop attempting to use the month I [...]
Northwestern Could Be Set For Historic Season
Contributed by Indian Cowboy
Northwestern is the only school in one of the six major conferences not to make it to the NCAA Tournament in the last 50 years. But, this will be the year they do it.
How, do you ask? Well, bear in mind that this team was 17-13 last year with big wins over [...]
IC Thinks Jackets Will Sting In ‘09
Contributed by Indian Cowboy
I was roaming around Twitter and a Dick Vitale post caught my eye last week. He has Georgia Tech as one of the five teams he is most interested in seeing play. I couldn’t agree more Dick!
Georgia Tech is a team that I have seen play often, as I am in the [...]
Hawks Sippin’ On Jamal Juice
Contributed by Indian Cowboy
The quiet offseason acquisition of Jamal Crawford by the Hawks has gone relatively unnoticed – until now.
As a Hawks fan, I have watched this team have a great capacity to play well, but as the game marches on this team starts to fall behind due to the massive minutes logged in by [...]
Can You Spell “Selfish” Without “Al”?
Contributed By Nolan Sinclair
I am amazed by NBA players from time to time, and not because of their talent. The arrogance that seeps from some of these Neanderthals. The way they could care less about their teammates is unreal. I can’t stand watching their “me, me, me attitude”. Now don’t get me wrong, I am [...]
